Screen Display

• This monitor conforms to the WXGA mode (1,280 x 768 dots).

• This monitor does not support the computer’s display mode which is larger than

WXGA mode (1,280 x 768 dots). Its display is possible but there is no guarantee.

• Displaying the same screen for an extended period of time may leave a residual

image; this does not indicate a broken or defective display. The display will return to

normal after the power is turned off and the unit stands for a while. Use of a screen

saver is recommended.

• Bright dots (dots that remain lit) or black dots (unlit dots) on the LCD monitor’s display

are normal; they do not indicate a broken or defective display.

• When the LCD monitor shows the Composite Video, S-Video etc., it is displayed on

a little bit wider screen which compares to a normal television set. Depend on the

image, it might be possible to show it on a full screen.
